This guide shows you how to edit your poster. You do not need to be a designer. If you can click and type, you can do it.

## What is a layer?

Think of your poster as a pile of clear sheets. Each sheet holds one thing: your name, your photo, a shape, or the background. Each sheet is called a **layer**. Layers let you change one part of the poster without touching the rest.

## 1. Select a part of your poster

There are two easy ways:

* Click on the part in the poster, for example "Your name".

* Or click its name in the **Layers** list on the left.

The settings for that part open on the right side.

## 2. Understand the Layers list

The Layers list shows every part of your poster, such as **Text**, **User name**, **User role**, **Avatar**, and **Shape**.

Some layers have a small **pen icon** next to them. This means attendees can change that part themselves when they make their own poster, for example their name and photo.

## 3. Use the 3-dot menu

Click the **3 dots** next to any layer to see these options:

* **Rename:** Change the layer name. You can also double-click the name.

* **Duplicate:** Make a copy of the layer.

* **Lock layer:** Stop the layer from moving by mistake.

* **Hide layer:** Hide the layer without deleting it. You can show it again later.

* **Delete:** Remove the layer.

**Tip:** If you are not sure, choose **Hide layer** instead of **Delete**.

## 4. Fix the "Overlapping widgets" warning

An orange warning means two parts of your poster sit on top of each other. For example, *User role* and *User company* may overlap. This can make the words hard to read. To fix it:

1. Click one of the layers named in the warning.

2. Drag it to a new place on the poster.

3. Check that the warning is gone.

## 5. Change size, position, and background

When you select a part, you can change these on the right side:

* **W and H:** the size.

* **X and Y:** the position on the poster.

* **Rotation:** tilt it.

* **Corner radius:** make the corners round.

To change the background, click it, then click **Change** to upload a new image. Use the **Transparency** slider to make it lighter or darker.

## 6. Preview and save

* Click **Preview** at the top to see how your poster will look.

* Made a mistake? Click the **undo** arrow at the bottom.

* Click **Save & exit** when you are done.

## 7. Want a designer to do it for you?

Click the purple **Get Professional Design Support** box at the bottom left, then click **Request Design Support**.

A professional designer will make a poster that matches your brand. You will get a first draft quickly, and the designer will improve it using your feedback.
